Winter Scenes of Canada Ornamental Keepsakes

Revel in a winter wonderland

Enjoy the magic of winter with these timeless ornaments of three traditional Canadian
winter scenes: hockey dreams on ice, a wintry sleigh ride and Nanuk of the North.

Each keepsake is plated in 10-karat gold, features a charming free-hanging snowflake
to enhance each scene and is adorned with a ribbon. Plus, the handsome presentation
folder is ideal for storage.

Plated in 10-karat gold! An original gift for the hostess!

Each of these charming winter scenes is an original design by Susan Taylor, one of the talented artists and engravers behind the Mint's circulation and commemorative coin designs.

A Wintry Sleigh Ride - A sleigh ride is a great way to experience the season and connect with Canada's pioneering past. Often pulled by trustworthy Canadian Horses—a breed unique to Canada and descended from the best stock in the royal stables of King Louis XIV—horse-drawn sleighs were among the best means of winter transport.

Nanuk of the North - The grandeur of the Arctic has been meticulously recreated, featuring a mother polar bear with her two cubs, and an iceberg in the background. Though few Canadians have actually seen a polar bear in the wild, most agree that this quintessential symbol of the North and the land she reigns are a part of us.

Hockey Dreams on Ice - Whether your memory is of slapping a puck around on the ice, or a ball in the street or schoolyard, hockey is the sport that best defines our nation and warms our hearts and souls in cold winter months.

The finish isn't what I expected - and the detail was lacking compared to other products I have purchased. This one, unfortunately, didn't wow me. Nonetheless, I will still be a supporter of the RCM products.

This is a great gift for the person who has everything. We give to aging parents, and this is still relevant for them. Also, it nicely reflects our Canadian heritage, especially reminiscent of our recent trip to Ottawa. Thanks!

As I had these delivered directly to the recipient, I've not actually seen them. My mother in law thought they were very attractive, and the went on the tiny tree immediately. The other set will have to wait until next year to see the light of Christmas, but they were an appreciated gift, as well. [...]
